Chapter 31: Peerlessly Charming
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translations Editor: EndlessFantasy Translations
A graceful woman walked up to them. Her fully made-up face smiling; her youth showing in her eyes as she glanced around. Although she was not as beautiful as Nicole, the way she walked, moved and talked carried a seductive air.
She had long red hair which was tied into a knot. Her languid appearance also made others feel languorous. Even her dress was more refined compared to all the other women who were present.
She wore an unusual sleeveless bright red dress. Her long and thin skirt trailed on the floor. Somehow, the skirt highlighted her long straight legs. The skirt was deliberately tightened at the waist to show off her slender waist. With every step she took, the eyeballs of the men present grew wider till they almost popped out. The most exaggerated part was the back of her dress which was bare. It was just held together by a few thin strings from around the neck, revealing her fair skinned back. That bold dress attracted the attention of countless men and earned the hatred and envy of other women.
Without a doubt, she was an unrivaled beauty.
The moment Milo saw this woman, he was stupefied and he murmured, “Miss Jojo…You…” The cocky and arrogant fellow even lost his ability to speak.
Rody stared, enraptured but he suddenly remembered Miss Nicole’s remarks.
“At the banquet, you may meet someone. Remember, you must never provoke that person! That person’s name…. is Jojo!”
Although Rody and the other men were attracted to the extremely alluring woman like a magnet, Rody who still had a trace of rationality left, remembered Miss Nicole’s warning. His facial expression slowly returned to normal. Of course, he still could not help but stare. It would be a miracle if he could control his eyes when a seductive beauty was standing right in front of him.
The charming woman, Jojo did not seem to mind the stares. In fact, she had experienced the same kind of stares everyday. At that moment, she smiled gently while staring at Milo’s face. “Lord Milo, what topic of interest are you talking about? May I listen in as well?”
Jojo seemed to have the innate talent of using her nasal voice. Her charming tone of speech appeared to even pierce through bones. With one gentle sentence, Milo was weakened to the bone.
“No… nothing… but Miss Jojo… if you want… I can slowly tell you about some of my interesting experiences in the North.”
At that moment, Milo was no longer looking for trouble with Rody. After all, pleasing Miss Jojo was much more important than bullying the famous playboy! After all, the playboy was just a useless person who relied on his family background. On the other hand, Milo had gained His Majesty’s favor and had military power. In comparison, the playboy was not a threat.
Rody stood aside and saw that Milo finally stopped paying him attention. He then felt greatly relieved. At that point, a few of the noble ladies who were out-shined by Jojo’s brilliant presence also grew pale and boring. They had no choice but to go elsewhere. Rody wanted to leave too but the moment he took a step, Jojo saw him and suddenly spoke, “Young Master Seth, are you not interested in our topic of conversation?”
For some reason, when Jojo glanced at Rody, his face turned red. Rody, alarmed, quickly lowered his eyes to avoid eye contact. However, the moment Jojo made that statement, Rody could no longer leave. He could only stand at the side awkwardly while listening to Milo's and Jojo’s conversation.
Milo was actually quite eloquent. Jojo giggled occasionally, listening to him talking about the strange sceneries and news of the North. To be able to win the interest of that beauty, Milo was definitely in extremely high spirits compared to Rody who was standing quietly at the side.
Jojo’s cheerful expression slowly turned serious while her gaze towards Milo slowly became gentler. It was as if her big eyes were about to tear. Rody was starting to feel disgusted in his heart and thought to himself.
Don't tell me all women are fools? That Milo seems to be getting carried away. Which part of him is attractive?
Suddenly, Jojo stepped a wee bit nearer Milo. She looked at Milo’s eyes and slowly asked, “Lord Milo, there is something that I need to request from you. Please do not refuse me.”
The moment Milo heard this, he straightened himself. “Miss Jojo, do not worry! Just say what you need! Although the world is large, there are not many things in this world that I cannot do!” he proudly exclaimed.
This was natural as his family was amazingly powerful. His own uncle was the Military Minister and one of His Majesty’s most trusted subordinate. He also controlled an entire section of the military and was an extremely important person. It could be said that he was very influential indeed. His words were not exactly too far off the mark. On top of that, a little bragging in front of a beauty was a common problem for all men.
Jojo's face immediately revealed an expression of gratitude and she bit her lip as if she was very embarrassed and softly said, "Originally, I was not going to attend this banquet. This is because some time ago, I did something wrong and made my sister very angry. She wanted me to stay home to reflect on my mistakes for a few days..."
Milo hurriedly continued after that, “So you want me to plead for you? Understood… Tomorrow I will pay a visit to Her Majesty the Empress!”
